Fox will carry the in-stadium feed of his farewell pick with ESPN’s permission, underscoring a rare cross-network tribute.

Overview

  • Corso’s last appearance comes at Ohio Stadium before Ohio StateTexas, where his 431st headgear selection will be staged on the field.
  • Rece Davis said the finale will be “one of one,” with the pick structured differently from the prior 430.
  • Fox’s Big Noon Kickoff will air the jumbotron feed of the moment with ESPN’s blessing, with tributes from Tom Rinaldi and Chris Fallica also planned.
  • The sendoff caps a 38-season run that began with GameDay’s launch in 1987 and a headgear ritual that started at Ohio State in 1996.
  • Corso, 90, enters the day with 430 headgear picks and a 286–144 record (66.5%), following a week of ESPN tributes including an ESPYS salute and a one-hour special.
